Staff were lovely and I lovely the layout. Showers were great. It was really good that there was space next to the bed to put things. Loved the reading area and the books available :)

I was skeptical about the "cubby," but it ended up being really spacious! I couldn't believe I could store a backpack AND my carry-on inside the little compartment for extra security. The doors are locked with a passcode. The place was so clean and cozy. It was a comfortable stay!

Loved this place! Good energy, bedding was very comfortable, bathrooms and showers had private doors. Staff was great, even helped me carry my bag up the stairs! The lounge area is cozy and busy. They thought of all the little details.

You have a full length mirror so many hostels do not! Lots of outlet plugs..Also the place is designed so well it is one of the most beautiful hostels I’ve stayed at. Every Staff member went above and beyond and were a joy to speak to.

The staff was really nice!! We got to spend New Years Eve with them and they organized activities and a small trip to the local temple and shrine. We had a blast!!

The property is typical Japanese accommodation, which is very clean. I can have my private space with curtain drawn. The security is also good in that suburb.
Staffs are very kind and helpful, and also can speak good English!
Toast and jam are provided as breakfast. Wifi is very fast! Washing machine is easy to use and there’s a big hanger on the third floor.

I loved the compact bed units. Made me feel like I had a room of myself. Excellent facilities for a hostel. I've done hostels in cities across multiple continents and I have to say that this is in my top 3. An excellent hostel.

Booking.com Guest Review Guidelines

To keep the rating score and review content relevant for your upcoming trip, we archive reviews older than 24 months.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Reviews Vision

We believe review contributions and property responses will highlight a wide range of opinions and experiences, which is critical in helping guests make informed decisions about where to stay.

Reviews Principles

Contributions to Booking.com are a reflection of the dedication of our guests and properties, so we treat them with the utmost respect.

Whether negative or positive, we'll post every comment in full, as quickly as possible, after it's moderated to comply with Booking.com guidelines. We'll also provide transparency over the status of submitted content.

After a review has been submitted, you can modify it by contacting Booking.com customer service.

We'll use the same guidelines and standards for all user-generated content, and for the property responses to that content.

We'll allow the contributions to speak for themselves, and we won’t be the judge of reality. Booking.com’s role is to be a feedback distributor for both guests and properties.

Guidelines and Standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

If I had to say something it would be the mattress are very thin and the showers were on another level to the rooms.

The Hostel was lovely, presented well, staff were easy to approach and happy to assist with travel needs and desires, what you'd hope to expect really!

The location was a bit tough to get to as the hostel is located on neighbourhood with quite a few slopes. A slow 10min walk from the nearest train station.

Beautifully designed living space. The whole hostel felt like a MUJI inspired showroom. The staff were all friendly and welcoming. I love lounging in the shared space on the ground floor. Free bread and coffee breakfast in the morning was also well appreciated. About 20mins easy walk to Dotonburi, shopping areas and Kuromon market. Located in a quiet neighbourhood.
